That post is wrong though. The real answer is, as usual, "it's complicated". But not very so. The beam width is roughly constant with distance close to the focal point, so there the inverse square law does not apply. Far from

SV/tech/USA is so great, anyone can make it big. You just have to be smart and work hard. Oh, and be family friends with billionaires. Yeah, that's all.

> it has generally been cheaper to trust people and write off the bad apples than to verify more This is not the issue here. If a bank want to do this, go ahead, as long as they cover the losses. The problematic part is that if a bank gi

Other people have mentioned Qt, which is great, but I'd like to point out there it also support QML which is probably better your you. * It is backed by Qt and rendered by OpenGL, so it performs very well. * It has very easy syntax, es

A relevant result for dishwashers is also how did the number of human dishwashers decrease once automated ones become available. If you are the only one in your kitchen, where previously there would have had to be three for the same workloa

You're reading the numbers wrong, there is no stretching. The 80/20 rule means that 80% of resources is controlled by 20% of participants. Applying the same ratio to subgroups, you also get that 1% of participants control about 50

Was the bank really at fault here? From what I see they receive a legal letter from the Sheriff’s Department, and they complied with the letter. The article doesn't say what was included in the letter to the bank, I assume the author d

While I agree with the sentiment, IC vehicles have been getting cleaner for some time, and likely will continue in the future. They will never be completely clean, though.

In the US, about 2/3 of electricity produced is from fossil fuels. In the EU, this number is about about half, and in Slovenia it's lower than 25%. So with all else being equal, you reduce pollution by somewhere between one third
